I did say that some should consider learning in a different evironment like at home because they are doing nothing in school, but that is all I said that was negative. The principal was nice to me, but she said she doesn't want me in the building till the investigatin is done. I'm really upset because I love working at this school. I just had this one bad class. Maybe that is all it takes to get fired these days . I've put in many days at this school and never got in trouble before.

There used to be a lot of regulars on this board who took pride in their work and acted professionally. It used be a good place to go for advice and a place to vent if we had a bad day, which we...See More

Subbing
What a nightmare to be in this environment where seconds
count against you for not doing anything wrong.
